Prices start from £7.95pp including VAT, and cover the food, the equipment and the setup. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options carry no surcharge, and everything arrives ready to serve. We travel to Penzance from our Redruth kitchen, about 25 minutes away, and cover it regularly. We need somewhere to set the food down and vehicle access to unload, and we handle the rest.

What customers say
“Absolutely brilliant service. Used Salt wind for a birthday party this summer. They arrived promptly, the food was wonderfully presented in boxes and the portions were big! All the dishes were delicious, it truly made the party go with a bang and saved me hours of cooking! Would absolute recommend them and I will certainly be using their services again in the future! Thank you!”
